Product Description

Book Description

The opulence and history surrounding Linda Martin at Chateâu Valmy are all part of some wondrous, ecstatic dream. But there is a palpable terror crouching in the shadows. And then an accident that is no accident nearly kills the young English nanny's innocent, nine-year-old charge.This is not "chance" -- this is something planned...and deadly.

From the Publisher

All of Mary Stewart's novels of romantic suspense are so wonderful that it's hard sometimes to pick out specific comments or insights on each book--you should just read them all! I will say that the suspense in Nine Coaches Waiting is particularly terrific because you can never trust any of the characters and aren't quite sure who the villain is until it's almost too late. Don't miss it! Shauna Summers, Senior Editor

4.0 out of 5 stars A mystery, a romance and a perfect blend of gothic spookiness, Jun 5 2009

By	Misfit (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Nine Coaches Waiting (Paperback)

What's not to love? Linda Martin arrives at the Chateaux Valmy high in the French Alps to care for young Comte Philippe, recently orphaned and in the care of his uncle Leon and step-aunt Heloise de Valmy. When Leon's son Raoul arrives, Linda finds herself falling in love, although things are not as they appear and Philippe begins to have several life threatening accidents. Or are they accidents? Is there something more sinister involved? Could the person behind these attempts want to set Linda up as the scapegoat? What about her beloved Raoul? Could he have a part in this deadly scheme?

That's about all I'm going to tell, you know I'm not into book reports or spoilers. Linda was a charming Jane Eyre-ish type of heroine, and I loved the dark mysterious Raoul (ooh, that midnight "buffet"). Stewart has a lovely, subtle style of story telling and keeps the plot moving without too much in-your-face telling instead of showing and very reminiscent of Du Maurier. I also loved how she worked the mists and clouds of the high mountains (as well as that hair raising zig-zag drive to the Chateaux) to set a properly spooky atmosphere,

"Out into a patch of clear darkness, and then another cloud was on us, but this time thin, so that our yellow-dimmed lights made rainbows in it that wisped away along our wings, and we were through."

All in all a perfect book to cuddle up with for a rainy day, my only complaint is she took a tad bit too long to wrap all the lose ends up, so I'm knocking off one star. 4/5.
